Database Manager on March 20, 2008:

Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Originally installed as 4/50 in 1989; prepared-for stops installed and two small Antiphonal divisions installed - one in each corner of the rail of the balcony that is on three sides of the rectangle-shaped room. The ceiling is low throughout the room - unusual for a room of this size. It is no higher than the top of the organ case.
